So the rumor going around is that this show may be on the endangered species list, either being done until the fall or done until the end of time. This saddens me greatly of course, but fear not! My plan if the show is done for is to go back and review ALL previous SMS that I’ve not reviewed Continue Reading...

“Good morning, WWE Universe! Welcome to Saturday Morning Slam. In our opening contest, Jey Uso will be taking on Darren Young.” Really, that’s how this show started. Even the announcer didn’t sound excited about this show. Gotta admit, that’s kinda a far cry from the last few weeks where we’ve been promised CHANGES and NEW ERAS and all the Continue Reading...

Before I get into the SMS report this morning, wanted to apologize for the report not going out as quickly as it usually does. This was due to, well, the entire Reynolds clan (me, Mrs. Deal, RD Jr.) being shot in the face with substances of various colors on this past Saturday morning in the form of a 5K Continue Reading...

Before we get started, I want to make note that in the last 3 days I’ve had two folks who are not hardcore wrestling fans tell me that they watch this show. We’re starting a revolution here, people! One is my old buddy Joe Cady, who used to do ring announcing at PWI events, and the other is RD Continue Reading...

“Good morning WWE Universe! With WrestleMania now officially in the books, the newly minted WWE Hall of Famer and Saturday Morning Slam General Manager Mick Foley has declared this to be the dawning of a bold new era!” Don’t get too excited, kids – we seem to get new eras on this show with the same frequency of Continue Reading...

“Good morning, WWE Universe! It’s the biggest wrestling weekend of the entire year, but you’d never know it watching this show, as we hype exactly zero WrestleMania matches! While we know you’d love to get another half hour talking about Zeb Colter or Hunter possibly retiring, you ain’t getting it here!” Just a guess on my part there – Continue Reading...

With my look at the 28 previous WrestleManias up and posted on my personal blog, I decided to post, for Our Loyal Crappers, my list of the fifty greatest WrestleMania matches ever. Even if I don’t always agree with your arguments, I do love to see the debate you guys create, and I imagine there will be some from this Continue Reading...

“Good morning WWE Universe! Following a fantastic show two weeks ago and an absolutely horrible one last week, we brace for what may follow. Will it be awful…or awful good?” So sez our erstwhile announcer to start off the show. Ok not really, just seeing if anyone was paying attention. And SPEAKING OF…paying attention, a quick note that RD Continue Reading...

(NOTE: Go figure that two guys interviewed on WrestleCrap’s Count of 10 soon get involved in one of the greatest matchups OF ALL TIME (/Kanye voice).) (NOTE 2: Press release swiped from WrestleEnigma.com, with modifications made) After days of intense speculation and heated negotiations we can confirm that later this week Stevie Richards will defend the Extreme Rising Continue Reading...

Photo credit: WrestlingFigures.com Check back in with us at 8 PM EST for live Raw coverage. Follow along with a particularly grouchy Justin Henry on Twitter as he reviews 3 hours of WWE. 7:58: Already in a pissy mood. NCIS prior to Raw is a Caitlin episode, not a Ziva one. We had an agreement, USA. You air 7,000 Continue Reading...

After a few iffy weeks, last week’s Saturday Morning Slam, wherein Mick Foley was presented as the new General Manager, was one of the best eps in months. Will this week follow that pattern? Let’s just say the preview on my DVR isn’t filling me with hope. Our opening contest is brought to us by “the coolest Continue Reading...

Bringing a taped show to you live at 8 PM EST! 7:57: Spike’s wise to air Tokyo Drift prior to Impact; you can only go up from there. 8:00: Bully Ray uses the opening vignette to explain how the MASTA-MASTA-MASTA PLAN (copyright: Vince McMahon) came together. He says he destroyed the Hogan family. I dunno, he’s giving Linda far too Continue Reading...

20 days til WrestleMania, and I reclaim my chair from Gorilla Monsoon this week. Lord knows how he tolerated that sludge a week ago. Feel free to tweet me with your comments and wittiest remarks. The best ones get included within the body of this review. 8:01: I think Undertaker’s lengthy absence these past couple years was just so his Continue Reading...

“Last week, chaos erupted on Saturday Morning Slam!” exclaims our now-weekly over the top, deep-voiced, ever more panic-stricken narrator. “But today, an announcement will be made. Will it end the pandemonium, or will mayhem be unleashed?” As he finishes this sentence, we get this visual: WILL CARTWHEELING MAYHEM TAKE OVER OUR FAVORITE SHOW??? ONE WAY TO FIND OUT! Continue Reading...

Sure, why not? Lockdown was fun on Sunday and it’d be nice to cover a show that isn’t wrought with movie promos, as well as poor build for the biggest show of the year. And since Raw’s ratings have been up ever since WrestleCrap covered the show weekly (we ARE taking credit), let’s help the #2 promotion out a Continue Reading...

Bruce Prichard was unable to re-sign Justin before tonight’s event, so Gorilla Monsoon will once again handle reviewing duties on behalf of WrestleCrap! Prichard’s lack of responsibility make Monsoon glad he retired. 8:00: A somber opening here in Indianapolis, as we pay tribute to the late great Paul Bearer. He was undoubtedly, a classic. 8:02: Holy smokes, this place Continue Reading...
